ENTERTAINMENTS.

PICTURE SHOW

Among the pictures for tomorrow night we find one entitled, “A Dangerous Lesson.” This is an honest heart to heart kind of story which will strike a responsive chord in more than one little family. Touching a point which must be faced by every young couple, this film develops in a very simple and natural way, therefore convincing, a problem in household economics. To the thoughtful person it points a moral, but to the most casual spectator it is an inteiesting drama.

Another drama, “ The Prisoner of the Harem,” tells the story of how a girl looking in vain for work one day sees an advertisement in the New York Herald, stating that a Governess is wanted for Mahmoud Pasha, a young American woman, well educated and speaking French and German. Answering the advertisement seven weeks later Alice Durand secures the position. Met at the station by the Pasha she is taken to the Harem, and introduced to the favourite wife and his children. Within a few days the Pasha shows his hand and Alice finds she is a prisoner in the Harem. Her ultimate escape makes a thrilling story. The rest of the programme is made up of topical films, comedies, a study in “ Poppies” and other dramas, “Tilly in a Boarding House,” concerning the pranks of two girls on the other inmates of the house. “ Revenge is Sweet,” showing how an office boy tried to get even with the girls for' teasing him, but when you see this picture you will have a good hearty laugh at what the girls did to Jimmie.
